Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire Sport Watch
Skiing at the resort? This do-it-all watch tracks your turns beyond max/average speed and total descent, with training metrics and maps alike popping on a rugged sapphire lens and glare-reducing AMOLED display. Heading off-piste? The multiband GPS with SatIQ™ means better mapping (minus the breadcrumbs), from dense forest to untracked ridgeline.
Salomon S/Pro Supra Dual BOA 130 Boot
A dual BOA® system that tightens separate upper and lower shell zones creates a personalized fit that locks you in all day. No more clumsy buckles or pressure points—just daylong comfort, control, and performance from bulletproof bumps to bottomless pow. Bonus: Power Spine and ExoWrap construction for boot-to-ski power transfer and chatter absorption, plus GripWalk soles for après walkability.
Burton Cyclic Gore-Tex Men’s Jacket
This two-layer Gore-Tex jacket dishes up all-weather comfort from January blizzards to spring slush, keeping moisture at bay while Burton’s Living Lining ups the breathability on the bootpack or skin uphill. The tech reacts to your temperature: It releases heat when you’re working hard and traps warmth when it’s cold, all the way to last chair.
Smith 4D MAG ChromaPop Goggles
See the mountain—and its obstacles—in a new light with a wide field of view and ChromaPop lenses to boost contrast and clarity. The rimless frame maximizes peripheral vision, AirEvac venting reduces fogging, and three-layer DriWix foam serves up the perfect seal. Conditions change? Swap lenses quickly and easily, even on the lift, with the MAG magnetic system.
Dakine Fall Line Ski Roller Bag
This versatile mobile gear closet is light enough for short trips yet spacious enough for overseas stays with the quiver in tow. It holds two pairs of skis, plus poles and outerwear, and features a removable boot bag, tarp-lined pads to protect your gear, and urethane wheels that roll smoothly over European cobblestones. Bonus: It packs down flat for storage under the condo sofa.
Hestra Fall Line Glove
Balance warmth with durability and dexterity with these all-around gloves prepped for resort to sidecountry laps. A rugged cowhide leather shell cuts wind and covers an uber-soft Bemberg fleece lining. The outseam stitching enhances your pole grip while the low-profile neoprene cuff mates with your jacket sleeve to keep snow out.
Salomon QST 100 Ski
The QST serves up float plus edge control thanks to a 100-millimeter underfoot sweet spot for all-mountain versatility. In short, this predictable package balances power and playfulness. Its poplar wood core and basalt laminate deliver a stable ride and lively rebound while its Cork Damplifier absorbs all chatter. Add Salmon’s Freeride Rocker profile for that float-plus-control combo that will define your next all-season performer.
Gravity Grabber Threesome Pack
Kiss that Jenga pile of jumbled-up garage skis goodbye with this storage system that features a unique gravity-locking design. No clamps, brackets, or wooden dowels that are never long enough—just a bombproof ski and snowboard rack that frees up coveted floor space and offers a secure hold every time.
Backcountry Cottonwoods Gore-Tex Women’s Shell Jacket
This durable hard-shell jacket—now available in a new Pink Glo colorway—handles everything the weather throws, from waist-deep blower to spring sleet. Its two-layer Gore-Tex ePE membrane is both waterproof and breathable, and the soft recycled lining feels silky-smooth next to your skin. Wrist gaiters, powder skirt, and adjustable hood keep snow out, while underarm zips provide ventilation for the trudge.
Backcountry Cottonwoods Gore-Tex Women’s Shell Bib Pant
This eco-friendly Gore-Tex ePE bib includes a soft interior lining that adds warmth while wicking away moisture. Kevlar-reinforced kick panels keep edge scuffs at bay, and fixed bib and boot gaiters keep out snow. Getting hot? Mesh-lined side vents regulate body temps while an articulated fit and inseam gusset still allow movement. Nature calling? No worries—the drop seat makes bathroom breaks a no-brainer.
